| oesophageal branches of the inferior thyroid artery | <anatomy, artery> Distribution: upper one-quarter of oesophagus; anastomosis: oesophageal branches of thoracic aorta. Synonym: rami oesophageales arteriae thyroideae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oesophageal branches of the left gastric artery | <anatomy, artery> Ascends through oesophageal hiatus of diaphragm to supply lowermost (cardiac) oesophagus; anastomosis: oesophageal branches of thoracic aorta. Synonym: rami oesophageales arteriae gastricae sinistrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oesophageal branches of the recurrent laryngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Supply motor and sensory fibres to cervical oesophagus on right side and to cervical and upper thoracic oesophagus on left. Synonym: rami oesophagei nervi laryngei recurrentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oesophageal branches of the thoracic aorta | Branches arising directly from the anterior aspect of the portion of the thoracic aorta adjacent to the oesophagus, by which most of the oesophagus is supplied. Synonym: rami oesophageales aortae thoracicae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oesophageal branches of the vagus nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Includes both branches passing directly from vagi and the branches from the recurrent laryngeal nerves that form the oesophageal nerve plexus which surrounds oesophagus, supplying it and adjacent portions of the pericardium. Synonym: rami oesophagei nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| omental branches | Branches to the greater omentum; epiploic branches arise from the left and right gastroepiploic arteries (rami omentales arteriae gastro-omentalis sinistrae et dextrae ) opposite the gastric branches (rami gastrici ) along the greater curvature of the stomach. Synonym: rami omentales, omental branches, rami epiploicae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thoracic cardiac branches of vagus nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of vagus nerve to the cardiac plexus which branch from the vagi at thoracic levels, conducting presynpatic parasympathetic fibres to, and reflex afferent fibres from, the cardiac plexus. Synonym: rami cardiaci thoracici nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thymic branches of internal thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> See: mediastinal branches of internal thoracic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
